i need help picking a slate call

i am looking for a new slate call i don't really like the one i have. i like the high pitched sound of the glass/crystal calls. i have heard the primos power crystal is good. has anyone used this? what other calls would you reccomend

I have a Primos Power Crystal and love it. I own many peg and pot calls, but this is the one I usually reach for first. It can reach out a grab gobbler from great distance or you can soft talk on it too. That call has produced at least one of every subspecies for me over the years. Don't hesitate to buy one.

Consider custom calls

At the recent National Wild Turkey Federation Midwest Call Contest in Madison, WI, Bill at Purdy's took an honorable mention on an aluminum. Tim at RutnStrut took first overall with an anodized aluminum. I am not sure how WoodButcher did, but I played his calls and they were great.

Just something to consider.

You simply can NOT come close to the authentic quality sound of a custom call. I would strongly suggest you take a serious look at several. The mass produced plastic calls made popular today because of their cheap production methods don't even begin to compare and sound like junk compared to any custom model. You want a Gobbler killin' meat call, buy a custom!

An "archer" tries to see how far away he can get from his target and still connect. A "BOWHUNTER" tries to see how CLOSE he can get to his.

I totally agree. I have several brands of calls & the 1st I reach for is Primos Power Crystal, 2nd is Knight & Hale ol yeller. That's when I'm not using diaphram calls.

i like to make my own,nothing like the satisfaction of calling in birds with something you made yourself.i take about four friction calls each time i go to see what they like.take a handfull of strikers also.if your interested pm me ill shoot ya a deal.can send pics if you like.
